(I squeezed her some I guess.) Can you say ought, my love, against The freedom of the Press? ’ I kissed her some—l did by gum; She colored like a beet; ■ Upon my living sonl she looked Almost too good to eat.

When it is bear (bare.) -The merchant who measures his goods honestly adopts a wise measure. -Why is a widow’s custom like a field of turnips ?—Because it’s (s)wedes! -What is the best remedy for a •‘dead lock!”—Why, a “skeletonkey,” of course. -A Virginia court has decided that a wife’s clothing belongs to her husband. -When is a young man’s arm like the Gospel ? When it maketh glad the waist places. -Why are your eyes like friends separated by distant climes?— They correspond, but never meet. -What is the difierence between a Christian and a cannibal ?—The one enjoys himself, and the other enjoys other people. ■ -A little girl, once hearing the remark that all people had once been children, artlessly inquired, Who took care of the babies ?” -“It is shame, husband, that I have to sit here mending your old clothes!” “Don’t say a word about it wife, the least said the soonest mended.” -Napoleon used to say, and think he had uttered a good thing when he said it, “A general should not stand to straight; he should lean a little on his staff.” -It is just as sensible a move to undertake to get married without courting as to attempt any business without advertising; both often prove aboritive. -An old maid is more liberal than a young one. The latter may always be willing to lend you a hand; the former will give you one, and thank you too. -In a small party, the conversation turning on matrimony, a lady said to her sister, “I wonder, my dear, you have never made a match. I think yon want the brimstone.” To which she replied, “No, not the brimstone; only the spark.” -A John Bull, conversing with an Indian, asked him if he knew that the sun never sets on the Queen’s dominions. “No,” said the Indian. “Do you know the reason why ?” asked John. “Because God is afraid to trust an Englishman in the dark, was the savage’s reply.” -The Ocean County (N. J.) Courier relates the following: “In the fall of 1866, one of our Ocean County cranberry growers packed several casks of choice cranberries and shipped to some of his English friends in Liverpool. In due time they were received, and their receipt acknowledged, saying : “That the cranberries hac been received, and tendered theii profound thanks; but they hat spoiled in the transit, as they wen SO sour that they could not bi eaten.” -A young lawyer was examin ing a bankrupt as to how he hai spent his money.
